Water Quality Planning Bureau Library Thesaurus

The Water Quality Library Database is indexed using controlled vocabulary from the WQPB Library Thesaurus. This thesaurus was developed to create a standardized vocabulary for water concepts that may be phrased in a variety of ways in the literature, it should be used as a guide to searching keywords in the library. The terms are arranged according to lead terms, together with both broader and narrower hierarchical relationship terms and related terms. USE references are noted to satisfy desirable standardization requirements.

This Agrisemantics Map of Data Standards is the continuation of the VEST Registry started on the FAO AIMS website
and it includes metadata from the AgroPortal ontology repository managed by University of Montpellier and Stanford University.

Work on improvements of the Map and integration with the AgroPortal is being conducted under
the umbrella of the "GODAN Action" project, a support action to the GODAN initiative.
